February: Deep-Winter Consistency and Cold Water
February looks a lot like January but with even more southerly swell in the mix. The average swell height is 4-5ft (1.3m) and period 7.2s. S swell leads at 10.9%, followed by SSE at 8.8%, ENE at 8.7% and E at 7.9%, so the good ESE/SE/SSE/S window collects roughly 33% of the wave distribution. Meanwhile WNW/NW/NNW winds total nearly 36%, keeping Ventnor's offshore wind percentage at 28%. The main story is cold: air temperature averages 2.2°C and water drops to its annual minimum of 4.3°C. The consistent cold fronts funneling down the coast make this one of the most reliable months for clean, if freezing, surf.
